ABU-DHABI DAY

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Whatever happens it's going to be cheesy as sin.

I think you can pretty much count on that.

When i see the sight of a bird of prey flying into the ground holding a ticket to Abu Dhabi in its claws with heroic music blaring out and an Etihad advert on the big screen a little bit of me will die.

Can't remember where it was, but I saw a game recently where they had a big fuck off eagle type thing trotting/flying around the stadium throughout the game.

Can't think for the life in me where / who it was.

It was a bit less gay than the cockerill that used to cluck around parc-de-prince for the rugby

We are talking small margins here though.

Another useless titbit I gleaned, but on the day I was on the pitch one of the guys worked in accounts. I asked him what the strangest outgoing bill at the club is that he's come across. He mentioned that the club pay a guy with a falcon to come to the ground either the day of the match or the day before to come and scare the pigeons away.

Ask a local Emirati and he'll happily pay to do it.
Outgoing bill my arse.

Maybe that should be incoming bill. Whatever, you get the point.

We have definately gone upmarket since the days of the plastic bird hanging by string off the Kippax roof.
